As the leader in digital photography, Sony has given consumers a wide range of useful products. Among them is the
Sony Mavica MVC-FD200. The saying goes like this, "If you build it, they'll use it." Sony has gone the extra mile by providing us, consumers, with a bundle of features that make this camera relevant to our family life, professional environments and lifestyle. No wonder that Sony has maintained its leadership in the quite profitable world of high-tech gadgets and technology. While this camera may be a little bulky in comparison with the new sleek releases by the same company and others, I would not quickly trade the versatility, practicality of the Mavica for anything else. This digital is great for those who do lots of field work and are on a budget. If you don't have time to have access to a computer to download your pictures, you won't have to worry about anything because you can always reach into your expansive supply of easy-to-use and affordable media. For a mere $6.00, you can get a whole 10-pack Memorex. When it comes to floppy disks, you can find them at a bargain almost anywhere you shop. This is why I have come to believe that if you want to travel overseas, the Sony Mavica is the right camera to pack.
What are some of the performance features of the Sony Mavica?
With 2.1 MP, this camera has enough pixels to take the right kind of pictures you need to e-mail to friends and family members. Unlike the fancy cameras from other companies, you will not be limited by the the number of shots you can take. That's a direct function of the amount of memory exists on the memory stick or media you are using. You will be able to store up to 156 images. If you are not pleased by some of them, you can always edit them and make space for new ones. The good news is that you can take your shots, store or save them on 3.5 floppy disk (and memory stick). You don't need any cable. You don't have to worry about downloading any pictures. The real question is that floppy disks are readily available in most computer stores. If you want a much better camera with higher MP, you can purchase

Other important features of this camera
Just in case you want to spend some money on a memory stick, this camera also accepts it. This media would make in case you want more storage. That's if you think about being gone for a long time. No matter what, you can always go for the cheaper media. This Mavica accepts JPEG, GIF as its image format. Its connector type is the USB. The area I would encourage anybody to invest in is in the battery. The camera takes 1x Lithium Ion. It's always a good policy to have extra batteries on hand if you are working in the field. Other features include but are not limited to: Video Out, built-in intelligent Flash, LCD monitor, Removable storage, MPEG Movie function, 3x optical and 6x digital zoom etc.
Who would make good use of this camera?
Practically anybody can have fun using it. If I were a private investigator, detective, lab technician, real estate agent, teacher, I would advise my company to invest in one of these cameras. Such was my surprise when the doctor and nurse who delivered my son pulled out their Sony Mavica to take shots of him. I quickly asked them what the pictures were going to be used for. She said that they would be destroyed after 15 days. They were taking the pictures as a new measure of security in the hospital. This way, they would not leave any aspect of the maternity uncovered. They wanted to insure the security of both mother and baby at the hospital. This Mavica was used. The nurse handed it to me to take her picture with the baby. If she was proud to have delivered one more healthy baby, as for me, I found a new way digital cameras are infiltrating the workplace.
Those who have a large inventory of important and precious materials and products. They'd better take shots of them. These pictures can be easily stored on floppy disks and memory stick. For example, I know a farmer who uses his digital camera to take pictures of the nut bags and packets he ships to foreign countries. He is not leaving anything to chance. Another antique dealer bought a Sony Mavica and had me catalogue all his expensive antique pieces. This way, when he travels back East to purchase, he has a readily available list of his prizes. A social worker takes pictures of the kids he works with. He places them in their charts. An engineer tries to create a list of his completed projects in an effort to build his portfolio. This way, he can share them with clients.
There are so many ways we can integrate this Sony product into our professional life. It's a useful tool which truly translates the meaning of this saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words."
